The African Democratic Congress has declared that its main political goal ahead of the 2027 general elections is to unseat President Bola Tinubu and take control of the federal government through the ballot.
The party’s National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, made this position known during a television interview aired on Friday. He said the ADC believes removing the current administration from power is the only way to restore proper governance in the country.
Abdullahi argued that Nigeria has, in his view, drifted away from acceptable democratic standards, adding that recent actions by people in government show a pattern of power being used without restraint. He claimed that some conduct within the system reflects disregard for due process and the rule of law.
He further alleged that certain events in the country’s political space are without precedent, including claims that a law properly passed by the National Assembly was altered after approval. According to him, such actions point to deep problems within the current administration.
The ADC spokesperson also raised concerns about reports that the Nigerian government paid a large sum of money to foreign lobbyists in the United States, saying such decisions raise questions about priorities at a time when citizens are facing economic hardship.
He maintained that the ADC is positioning itself as an alternative for Nigerians who desire a change in leadership, stressing that the party intends to pursue power through democratic means in 2027.
